Woman who ran over dog may face charges
Authorities are considering filing animal cruelty charges against a Pennsyvlania woman who was captured on video running over a dog with her truck, possibly on purpose.
Delaware County Assistant District Attorney Erica Parham confirmed the office had received a case file from the Aston Police Department and, after review, asked Aston police to further investigate.
According to Aston Police Sgt. Michael Ruggieri, a township resident arrived at police headquarters last week and presented a video — which depicts a white dog being run over by a red truck. The dog was killed.
The video was posted on YouTube, as well as GoAston.com, but later removed from both sites, the Delaware County Times reports.
The woman said she accidentally ran over the dog Oct. 11, but the video reportedly suggests otherwise.
